Humanities Initiatives strengthen the teaching and study of the humanities at institutions of higher education by developing new or enhancing existing programs, resources (including those in digital format), or courses that explore, interpret, and preserve the diversity of human cultures, ideas, and practices, past and present. Projects must address a core topic or set of themes drawn from humanities areas such as history, philosophy, religion, literature, or humanities-informed composition and writing skills. NEH welcomes applications for projects that are modest in scope, duration, and budget, as well as applications for expansive, long-term projects.

The Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) Regional Fund to Expand Inclusive Access to Quality Basic Education (henceforth the activity) will be a five-year cooperative agreement with a total estimated amount of up to $25,000,000 from USAID, with the expectation of other non-USAID funding to be obtained to support the objectives. The primary goal of the activity expanded inclusive access to quality basic education for marginalized and vulnerable learners sustained over time.

With this solicitation OJJDP seeks to provide funding for the development and implementation of comprehensive and culturally relevant training and technical assistance designed to support Tribal efforts to create, enhance, and/or sustain programs, services, and supports for youth in Tribal communities.

The CHIPS Research and Development Program (CHIPS R) aims to advance the development of semiconductor technologies and to enhance the competitiveness of the U.S. semiconductor industry. This is the first Notice of Funding Opportunity under this program. It seeks applications for new research and development (R) activities to establish and accelerate domestic capacity for advanced packaging substrates and substrate materials, a key technology for producing microelectronics systems. This NOFO seeks applications for research and development activities that will establish and accelerate domestic capacity for advanced packaging substrates and substrate materials. Through this NOFO, the NAPMP program seeks to achieve the following objectives: (1) Accelerate domestic R&D and innovation in advanced packaging materials and substrates; (2) Translate domestic materials and substrate innovation into U.S. manufacturing, such that these technologies are available to U.S. manufacturers and customers, including to significantly benefit U.S. economic and national security; (3) Support the establishment of a robust, sustainable, domestic capacity for advanced packaging materials and substrate R&D, prototyping, commercialization, and manufacturing; and (4) Promote a skilled and diverse pipeline of workers for a sustainable domestic advanced packaging industry. NAPMP plans to release subsequent NOFOs relevant to other research areas and for an Advanced Packaging Piloting Facility (APPF), where successful development efforts will be transitioned and validated for scaled transition to U.S. manufacturing. The APPF is expected to be a key facility for technology transfer to high-volume manufacturing.

The Spotlight on Humanities in Higher Education program, run by the NEH Division of Education Programs, provides funding for small projects that enhance humanities education at smaller colleges and universities, particularly those serving underserved populations, with a focus on community colleges, minority-serving institutions, rural schools, and institutions where over 40% of students receive Pell grants.

The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications that propose to establish a national Open Measurement Coordinating Network for Non-Pharmacological Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and AD-related Dementias (ADRD) Primary Prevention Trials. The Network will serve as a centralized hub for developing, validating, standardizing, and disseminating measures and measurement methods for AD/ADRD primary prevention trials. It will incorporate measures and measurement methods across neuropsychological, biomarker, and functional domains to meet the goal of primary prevention of AD/ADRD centered around brain health equity. Brain health equity is the fair distribution of brain health determinants, outcomes, and resources within and between segments of the population, regardless of social standing. Measures and methods of interest will test outcomes and mechanisms of action in settings customized for individuals with different needs and linked to real-world function. Applications must explain how the platform will meet evolving community needs and partner with other NIA-funded programs. Applications must also describe activities that will achieve the following objectives: Develop an organizational and governance structure to support the administration, innovation, and dissemination functions of the Network. Propose activities to establish a framework that will facilitate the development of innovative strategies for standardization and use of methods and measures across NIA-supported projects and support activities for the discovery and development of innovative and novel measures and data. Disseminate Network resources and products to the broader AD/ADRD research community. Ensure that all measures and methods development and validation occurs in a racially, ethnically, geographically, and diagnostically diverse set of participants, including members of NIH-defined Health Disparity Populations. This also includes establishing the acceptability and feasibility of using the proposed instruments in both cognitively normal individuals and persons living with cognitive impairment (PLWCI), including subjective cognitive decline. NIA is particularly interested in proposals that advance equity for populations disproportionately impacted by AD/ADRD. For example, Black and Hispanic Americans have a higher prevalence of AD/ADRD compared to non-Hispanic White Americans. Resources, including measurement instruments, methods, algorithms, code, documentation, and normative data will enable other, future measures and methods development projects that support AD/ADRD primary prevention research needs. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. The NOFO is expected to be published in early 2024 with an expected application due date in Spring/Summer 2024. This NOFO will utilize the U24 activity code.
